Ag Leader EZ-Guide 500 Variable Rate Getting Started Guide - Manual (Page 16)

There are two settings, measured in seconds:
Valve On Latency − the time that it takes for the system to begin spraying after you turn it on.
Valve Off Latency − the time that it takes for the system to stop spraying after you turn it off.
Tip: To calculate the latency values, time your system with a stopwatch
Intentional
Overlap
Allows you to double−spray (buffer) a set distance to ensure complete coverage and avoid skips.
There are two settings, measured in distance:
On Overlap Distance − the overlap buffer when travelling into an area to be sprayed from an
already sprayed area. Spraying begins this distance before the area to be sprayed.
Off Overlap Distance − the overlap buffer when leaving the area just sprayed and entering an
already sprayed area. Spraying stops this distance outside the area just sprayed.
Manual override
If you switch the Rate switch from Rate 1 or 2 to M (manual), you will get manual rate control but automated
boom switching will still be enabled. To obtain complete manual control of the EZ−Boom system (including
manual control of the sections) without having to go through the menus:
Stop the vehicle. 1.
Turn the Master switch to Off. 2.
Move the Rate switch to M (manual). 3.
Turn the Master switch back on. 4.
The system is now in full manual mode. This can be useful for spraying corners or to continue spraying if you
lose GPS signal. To change back to automated mode, move the Rate switch to 1 or 2.
Refilling the tank
There are two ways to refill the tank:
METHOD DESCRIPTION
Partial refill
Increases the Current Volume value by the Partial Refill Quantity. This is useful if you add a
specific amount of solution to the tank each time you refill it.
Refill Resets the Current Volume value to the Capacity volume.
Spraying pivots
If you are using the EZ−Boom 2010 system to spray a pivot, define the outer line of the pivot as your master line
and then work inwards. You cannot spray outside the pivot master line.
Spraying in reverse
Spraying in reverse is not supported. If you reverse the vehicle, the onscreen implement remains in place until the
vehicle appears to pass over it.
If you need to drive in reverse, set the EZ−Boom controller master switch to Off.
